The ABB M101-P is a compact, user-friendly programmable logic controller (PLC) designed for small-scale industrial automation and building control applications. As an entry-level PLC in ABB’s product lineup, it balances simplicity with core automation capabilities, enabling users to implement basic logic control, timing, counting, and sequential operations. Its plug-and-play design, intuitive programming software, and compatibility with standard industrial sensors/actuators make it ideal for small machinery, HVAC systems, lighting control, and simple production line automation—particularly suited for users seeking cost-effective, easy-to-deploy control solutions without complex configuration.
- Plug-and-Play I/O: Pre-wired terminal blocks with clear labeling (input/output/power) eliminate complex wiring design, allowing quick connection to sensors (e.g., photoelectric switches, limit sensors) and actuators (e.g., solenoid valves, small motors).
- Intuitive Programming: ABB M101 Suite software supports ladder logic (LD)—the most widely used PLC programming language—with a drag-and-drop interface. Even users with limited automation experience can create, test, and download programs in minutes.
- Integrates 8 digital inputs and 4 relay outputs in a single compact unit (dimensions: ~70mm × 90mm × 60mm), eliminating the need for separate I/O modules and reducing overall system cost.
- Low power consumption (<5W at 24V DC) and long component lifespan (MTBF ≥ 100,000 hours) minimize energy and maintenance expenses for small-scale applications.
- Industrial-grade components and wide operating temperature range (0°C to +55°C) ensure stable operation in harsh environments, such as factory workshops, warehouses, and building utility rooms.
- Relay outputs with high switching endurance (≥100,000 operations) handle frequent on/off cycles, making the PLC suitable for applications like lighting control, pump sequencing, and small conveyor management.
- Built-in RS485 port with Modbus RTU protocol enables seamless integration with HMIs, SCADA systems, or remote I/O modules. Users can monitor real-time I/O status, modify program parameters, or troubleshoot faults from a central control room—no need for on-site intervention.
The ABB M101-P is tailored for small-scale automation and building control scenarios, including:
- Building Automation: Lighting control (e.g., office, warehouse), HVAC fan/pump sequencing, and access control auxiliary logic.
- Small Machinery: Control of packaging machines, labeling equipment, and small assembly stations (e.g., part feeding, tool activation).
- Industrial Auxiliary Systems: Coolant pump control for machine tools, conveyor belt speed sequencing, and alarm signal processing.
- Commercial Facilities: Vending machine logic, retail display lighting control, and restaurant kitchen equipment (e.g., exhaust fan activation).
- Condition: New original ABB product (100% authentic, with factory certification and serial number traceability).
- Warranty: 24-month standard warranty covering manufacturing defects (excludes damage from improper voltage, physical impact, or unauthorized modification).
- Technical Support: Access to ABB’s free M101 Suite software, user manuals, and application notes. Our team provides remote assistance for programming, wiring, and troubleshooting.
- Packaging: Industrial-grade cardboard packaging with anti-static protection to ensure product integrity during shipping.
